Beaches
Meia Praia beach
This beach, which extends along the curve of the bay for over four kilometres, up to the Alvor River, is separated from the gently sloping terrain that surrounds it like an amphitheatre, by a dune cord of outstanding beauty.
Praia da Batata beach
It is located between the west pier of Ribeira de Bensafrim and Praia dos Estudantes, close to Cais da Solaria and the Ponta da Bandeira Fortress, just a few hundred meters from the historic center of Lagos. It is a very popular beach, due to its proximity to the urban center and sheltered corners.

Its collection covers archaeology, sacred art, the history of Lagos, ethnography of the Algarve, painting, numismatics, mineralogy and overseas ethnography.
